| - Aquaman is in hot pursuit of the Scavenger, an undersea pirate who has looted the cargo holds of the sunken ship, Bellerophon. Spying Aquaman's approach, the Scavenger ramps his scorpion shaped submersible into high gear. Aquaman telepathically directs an armada of barnacles to cling fast to the hull of the Scavenger's submersible. The added weight disrupts the thrust of the submersible's jets, forcing the Scavenger's vessel down to the sea floor. The Scavenger electrifies the hull of his ship, removing the barnacle encrusting encumbrance. The delay, however, has given Aquaman the time to catch up to the Scavenger. The Sea King crashes through the hull, and engages his old foe in pitched combat. Aware that his operative, the Fisherman, has failed to secure the Bellerophon's cargo, Kobra readies his personal craft, intent on retrieving the cargo, from the Scavenger, personally. On board the Scavenger's vessel. Aquaman has quickly gained the upper hand. The Scavenger activates a device, onboard his ship, that creates huge pockets of evaporated sea water in the ocean. In his haste, the Scavenger momentarily forgets that his vessel cannot traverse the air pockets. Traveling through one causes the vessel to instantly crash into the ocean bottom. Though Aquaman can breath air, as easily as water, a group of Atantean farmers are jeopardized by the air pockets, and begin suffocating. Aquaman abandons his fight with the Scavenger, rescuing the farmers by pushing them out of the pocket and back into the ocean proper. This gives the Scavenger time to regain control of his ship, and, more importantly, it's considerable arsenal. Aquaman is struck down by the scorpion submersible's tail, then finds his legs flash frozen by an ice projector. The Scavenger scoops up Aquaman in the ship's pincers and proceeds to crush the Sea King. Suddenly, the Scavenger's vessel is bathed in crimson light, and the Scavenger vanishes. Kobra has arrived. The so-called "Deadliest Man Alive" transfers the Bellerophon's cargo from the Scavenger's hold to his own. Without the Scavenger at the ship's controls, Aquaman is able to break free from the scorpion ship's pincers. Before he can completely pull himself loose, Kobra destroys the Scavenger's ship. The resultant explosion leaves Aquaman too stunned to pursue Kobra's vessel, as it rapidly ascends to the surface. As the ocean air pockets begin to slowly collapse, filling once more with sea water, Aquaman grimly resolves to bring Kobra to justice.
